Drawing inspiration from folk, rock and classical East Indian styles, Rani Chatoorgoon has weaved a musical tapestry all her own in her debut album Illusions of Loneliness.

Growing up in Deep River, Ontario, this self-taught musician found her true passion early on, singing and playing a variety of instruments at a young age.
